Most smartphone manufacturers focus on various aspects: camera, display, sound or battery capacity. But among the flagship models, everyone can choose exactly what they like. However, in order to make a competent and confident choice, it is best to know exactly how different smartphone models differ. That is why we decided to take a look at flagship Android smartphones from various manufacturers and determine which one is the best for today.

For those who love photography

Most modern smartphones have a cool camera, and this is not surprising, since we spend a lot of time using features such as video conferencing, or just taking great photos. But only one flagship smartphone boasts the best camera to date, and that is the Google Pixel 2XL. Even when the first Google Pixel appeared, it became clear that manufacturers were putting serious emphasis on photo quality. Therefore, the camera of this device should be such as to compete with the iPhone and Samsung. In the case of Google Pixel 2XL, the task was completed.

The smartphone is equipped with a powerful main camera with a resolution of 12MP and f/1.8 aperture.

At the same time, of course, the smartphone display will not disappoint you either, because good photos are best viewed on a good screen. Therefore, the smartphone is equipped with a virtually frameless 6-inch display with a resolution of 1440×2880.

The front-facing camera has not been left unattended either: it has a resolution of 8 megapixels and an aperture of f/2.4, so you can always count on great selfies and photos taken with the Google Pixel 2XL.

For those who care about battery life

Mi Max 2 is one of the sensational flagships from the beloved Xiaomi company. Like the previous Mi Max model, this smartphone is really large: what is the 6.44-inch display with a resolution of 1920×1080. But the highlight of this smartphone is its 5300 mAh battery. So this smartphone will definitely handle all your daily requirements, whether you are going to watch movies or play games. The battery charge is enough for everything.

To be more precise, according to the manufacturer, this battery will be enough for 31 days or 18 hours of video playback, or 57 hours of talk time. In practice, the numbers vary slightly, but in general, the battery really allows you to do without extra charges for a long time.

Of course, it is worth noting how successfully Mi Max 2 copes with its direct responsibilities — communication, entertainment and work tasks. In this regard, the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor and the convenient Android 7.1.1 Nougat operating system come to the rescue. Let Mi Max not use the latest innovations, but it definitely takes its place of honor in the leaderboard.
